Yeah, it's never too early to start the good habit. I even heard of ppl brushing their gums to get rid of bacteria & get them used to it before they have teeth, but I don't do that. I don't use tooth paste that young either, just a little water.
my kids pediatric dentist said as clean their gums with a wash cloth and as soon as their teeth start coming in to brush them (he said use act kids mouthwash) dip the brush in it and brush like you would your own. Also floss, my lo is almost a year. Also, dentist as soon as their teeth come in
I use the finger brush, and the tooth paste it came with. No need to rinse since baby tooth paste doesn't have floride. I brush my sons 2 bottom teeth, his guns, roof of his mouth, and tongue.
She will bite at first but if you make it fun (i sing a song about brushing while doing it) then she'll learn to.not.bite. plus it probably feels good on their little gums.
